For a team that’s trying to change the direction of a franchise that knows tanking all too well — and lost its first seven games a year ago — they know the results have to change.

The Cavs will try to grab their second win in as many nights.

Here are three numbers the Valkyries need to flip in order to bring home their first championship.

Here is everything you need to know about the NBA Cup, which tips off on Oct. 30.

Cooper Flagg’s first season with the Mavericks was highlighted by him winning the Rookie of the Year award. However, the team went just 26-56 and overhauled its front office and coaching staff over offseason. The 19-year-old forward credited the new regime with prioritizing what Flagg values most, writes Christian Clark of The Athletic (free link). […]

The Phoenix Suns have stumbled out of the gate to a 1-2 record to start the 2026-27 NBA season. Devin Booker totaled just three points in the Suns’ last game, a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Jalen Green has also had a rough start to the year. Recently, ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel […] The post NBA rumors: Will Suns use Jalen Green as trade bait to acquire PG help amid early frustrations? appeared first on ClutchPoints.

As the 2026-27 NBA season has gotten underway, the biggest question mark surrounding the Golden State Warriors is the health of Kristaps Porzingis.

How quickly things change. What exactly happened between the last game of the preseason and the opener against Portland? Complete collapse. That wasn’t supposed to happen, not after last year, not with this team. The culture was supposed to hit the road like Fred Flintstone, toe-tapping their way to the top of the leaderboard. They weren’t supposed to no-show any games, let alone the season opener, let alone follow that disaster class up with two more duds. There weren’t supposed to be so man...

Chicago Sky's Kate Martin signed a deal with Unrivaled in August. Less than two months later, the league has replaced her after terminating her contract.

The Golden State Warriors have gotten off to a so-so start to the 2026-27 season at 2-3, but a major bright spot for them has been the stellar play of rookie big man Yaxel Lendeborg. The 24-year-old has been one of the best rookies in the league in the early-goings of the regular season, and […] The post ClutchPoints’ Insider plants flag on Yaxel Lendeborg being top-5 pick in immediate redraft appeared first on ClutchPoints.

MINNEAPOLIS — Over his past two games, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has put together an ugly field goal percentage, shooting a cumulative 0-13 from the field. In an albeit small sample size, Gobert has shot just 37 percent on the season per Basketball Reference, a drastic shift from his historically good marks. “I don’t see […] The post Timberwolves’ Chris Finch calls out Rudy Gobert for ‘finesse’ play during ugly 0-of-12 shooting stretch appeared first on ClutchPoints.

The Houston Rockets have started the 2026-2027 NBA season with five straight victories, three of which came on the road. Head coach Ime Udoka is back at the helm, with talents like Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, and Fred VanVleet looking to guide the group toward a deep postseason run. While it may still […] The post 3 Houston Rockets bold predictions for make-or-break season for Kevin Durant, Ime Udoka appeared first on ClutchPoints.

The third-year guard could have a bigger role to play in Toronto with Leonard sidelined.

With questions emerging about Green’s role, Murray offers a potential answer to the Suns’ backcourt concerns.

The Indiana Fever are indeed a commercial powerhouse in the WNBA, ranking among the league’s top franchises in total annual revenue. And, of course, much of the reason behind that success can be traced back to Caitlin Clark.
